Big Boards 9"+( I wanna hear big boys talk about their big boards)

[Srt32srt]

    Originally the indy 169 had a 9.5 inch axle and the 159 had the 9 inch.  Now the 169s indy produces are only 9 inches wide.  215's are fuckin useless so if you want a wide truck the biggest is the 9 which is wack for a full sized 10 inch board.  ACE 66's are 9.5 but they bend.  Indy if you're out there make a real 169 thank you.

ace 66s are 9.3" axle and indy 169s are 9.125" closer to 9.25" than 9" and i agree the Indy 215s are useless because you have to have a board that is bigger than 10" if you dont want any axle poke.

Rewatched too many Love Letters and 80s skate videos and decided to go back to small nose big tail with 169s. Turning my big nose small tail board into a cruiser.





Left:
- Zmorgf Spade 9.5" x 32.5" with 14 - 14.5" adjustable wheelbase
- Thunder 161 Hollow Lights with Thunder 90a white aftermarket bushings
- Powell Peralta 56mm 85a G-Slides (caliper says they're actually 55mm)
- Bronson G3s with spacers
- Real Thunder Wooden Riser Pads 1/8"
- 1" hardware
- MOB

Right:
- Zmorgf Landboat II 9.6" with 14 - 14.5" adjustable wheelbase (Landboat shape that I scaled down a bit). I forgot the length
- USA Indy 169s with aftermarket Indy 92a conical blue bushings
- Powerflex 56mm 83b/55d Gumball wheels (Dual duormeter. Urethane is 83b while the core is 55d. Caliper says they're actually 55.5mm)
- Bones Swiss with spacers
- MOB
- 1" Diamond hardware

Haven't skated without rails in forever. These Powerflex wheels should be interesting to ride, although they are skinnier than I thought they'd be.

That's gonna be tough, been a few months at least since scram dropped any of those and they sold real quick.

Yeah unfortunately I don’t think it’ll happen and if it did it would just be a random ebay reseller

Yeah I tried everywhere ahah. The only ones I've saw was on Slap! Took a chance that maybe someone would have one to sell here $_ $ Thanks still!

Hi guys!

Anyone know where I could find this scram whale II board? Thx!

[close]

ive got this one in shrink but dont really want to sell it unless it goes for a good price

Oh! No problem at all G, if I was you I would keep it ahah /

[animalflesh]

The new scram shapes are hot maybe grab one of those

[con_hielo]

Yeah the new ones are really dope!! But minutes after Scram shared a insta story showing 35th Ave. and BlackMarketSkates having some, they were gone ahah. Gonna keep looking for those and ask my local(i'm from Canada) about the possibility/availability of those earth skiis. 

[144p]

35th will have more soon. Keep checking the website we are getting a few of each again.

Id look again. 35th has at least 1 new one, Black Market has a few new ones, No Comply has quite a few new ones, and Cal Skate has some as well. I’m pretty sure Goodtimes has some new ones as well by now but haven’t headed out that way recently. Any of those shops are good people to support.

[Woodshop]

In AU there are a few big ones that have made it out to some shops from the Aussie Distro.

I had a stand on and a short skate on this one the other day and it was nice and wide right through, no taper, good concave and a solid board to ride.

BTP2 being the name of it.

WIDTH   LENGTH   WHEELBASE
9.75"   32.8"   15.25"


Same as this one when I went looking for board info:

[con_hielo]

Thanks for all the links guys!! Appreciate it! They all look really good, but I'm gonna wait and see if they'll  maybe make the Whale II again (im obsessed with how good it looks and must feel). I've dm them a couple times but no answers ahah.

Thinking of picking this board up soon



width: 9.6"
length: 32.125"
wheelbase: 14.75"
nose: 6.5"
tail: 6.625"

Anyone skated it before? How is it?

I didn't know some Frog boards are on PS Stix - the popsicles are all BBS / Generator that I had seen.

As far as the wood, PS Stix make decent boards, a bit more mellow than some woodshops, those dimensions look pretty good, like some other PS Stix cruiser / bigger board shapes I have from other companies, so I would say although I haven't seen or skated that one, they would be a "thumbs up" from me.

Dope, figured the long wheelbase would work nicely with my new Ace AF1 66s. Have been skating the 66s on my Dane1 (14.125wb) and it was way too short, feels very unstable even though its 9.75.

[animalflesh]

My homie had one, skated great the nose felt a little short though

Kinda feels like an 80s shape in a way which is cool

[coldbrew]

Setting up a new curb/cruiser combo board and picked this up. 9” with a great shape and concave. Stoked to throw some rails on it and get to slappin on my way to the store.

A little while ago when I got my 10" scram, there were way more shaped decks available.  Looks like they got more popular because its mostly popsicles now.

Didnt skate it, but that shape is looking real good! 14.75" wb is both agile and comfy with Aces in my experience!

@shpongle just hooked it up with the anti-hero old yeller deck. 9.9", 16wb!!!!!!

I've got a set of satori softies on the way from a Craigslist person tmrw but what sorta trucks should I throw on???

I've got a new set 159s, venture 5.6, and ACE 33s. Not thinking any of em will feel right.

Never had a dedicated cruiser. Closet thing I'd ever had was a REAL Aces series shovel head with 159s and 56mm F4s that doubled as a pool and street board.

Help me, please

If I recall correctly, the Ol' Yeller is 9.75" over the front trucks and 9.5" over the back.

I would think the 159s would work if getting a new set of trucks isn’t in the cards for ya right now.

Personally, I’d say grab a set of 66 classics, 77 af1’s, or 215’s.

One more vote for 66 classics. If you’re gonna go all out and cruise, then go all out and get the best turn.

I'm looking for some feedback on the ND Siamese or maybe the 9.8 Gonz sweatpants. They would be used for regular skating, flip tricks..curbs ledges extra. And run em with 6.1 Ventures. Thanks yo.

i liked the Siamese. but the nose was a bit short. did my noseslides on my tail cause that felt more comfortable. Sweatpants has a normal nose.

Thanks man I wasn't sure on the length of the nose. That makes it a no go. The Gonz is looking good but something similar shaped but in the 9.5 range would be even better. Ideally I want something close to the 9.3 Dressen  everslick shape and size..but that's needle in a haystack type shit unfortunately.

Sweatpants I have are maybe 9.3 over the front but 8.8 over the back, so that would work well on those trucks.  Also 14.38 wheelbase is about medium, not long or short, which makes it a fairly good all rounder too.

Awesome, How's the concave? I like it pretty medium/steep.

Asked my buddy to keep a look out for me on this type of board never thinking a Craig shape or graphic would be what I was stoked on but here we are. Fully agree on being super stoked on it.

Sweatpants is a great versatile wide boy. I rode it with Indy 159s. But 151s or 6.1s would be nice also, I imagine.
